Helix - A DNA Editor / Creature Platformer

Helix is a platformer with (more :>) than 57 different levels. If you die, you have the possibility to edit the DNA of the character to change its appearance and skills helping you to continue easier. But not all modifications are useful.

Leveldesigner is included, just in case you want to create your own levels, but if you do publish it! ;)
Make sure you rename level.dna to create a new empty level.

This is my first compo submission for ludumdare - and my own first plattformer.

Have fun and don't forget to rate and comment :)

Oh, and it would be interesting to know if you have discovered the effects of some DNA changes (sometimes hard to notice). Let me know in the comment section :)

Great concept - I loved the DNA interface, and the changes it made!
Would have been better with some more challenges other than just jumping on platforms. Also would've been great to be able to see the effect of a DNA strand once I've modified it once :)

That was interesting. I think you should be able to edit the DNA further as much as you want on death, the user won't know the results anyways until it's confirmed. If not that, a take back or undo for each edit would be good.
